Using substitution to solve a system of equations

The video tutorial explains how to identify and solve systems of equations algebraically. It covers different types of systems, such as parallel lines, intersecting lines, and identical lines, and introduces the concepts of consistent and inconsistent systems. The tutorial demonstrates the substitution method for solving equations, emphasizing the importance of isolating variables to find intersection points. The solution to the system is found by substituting values and solving for x and y coordinates.

What are the three types of systems of equations discussed in the video?

• Linear, quadratic, and cubic equations

• Independent, dependent, and inconsistent systems

• Simultaneous, sequential, and random systems

• Parallel, intersecting, and coincident lines

How can you identify the type of system algebraically?
